Do freight ops use ex-pax birds? I would think they would stick with the OEM cargomasters.That there looks like a Martinaire bird sooner or later!

SDL has to be the most expensive place to park these. Why aren't they down in Goodyear or Marana?
The most likely buyer for these is a cargo outfit, or 135 operation though, not some rich guy in Scottsdale.
You won't find any with purple tails but several brown feeders and specialized/ad-hoc carriers have ex-pax birds. We have just a few left (thankfully). They're fat pigs, even with the interiors stripped out, and are limited to certain routes. They average ~500lbs more than the older straight freight birds.Do freight ops use ex-pax birds?

That being said, they're also typically always 675 horse birds so that helps during the winter a little in the boot-equipped birds.
